    Additional information

    Microbes live everywhere! From inside your gut to the middle of the ocean In order to survive, microbes interact to create a stable community that can survive in a sealed bottle for years!

    In this hands-on activity, participants will use craft materials to build their own model of a stable ecosystem in a bottle. At the end of the activity, get an up-close look at a sample microbiome using mud from Little Sippewissett Marsh in Falmouth, MA.

     

    This program is designed with ages 4-7 in mind, but all young scientists are welcome to attend.
